The new device could help provide vital navigation signals when GPS is either unavailable or has been jammed.

The Department of Commerce’s CHIPS Program Office has agreed with GlobalFoundries to amend its existing award and reallocate up to $955 million in incentives under the CHIPS and Science Act.

Alerting first responders and law enforcement to the presence of these dangerous chemicals in local supplies of fentanyl can help save lives.

As the nation’s lead agency for measurement science and standards, NIST is uniquely positioned to bridge the distance between fundamental discovery and industrial capability.

The award cites Ye’s achievement in “transformative, widely applicable advances in the control of ultracold atomic systems.”

The presentations highlighted the importance of NIST applying its own expertise and the expertise of others through collaborations and contracts.

This two-day virtual workshop will bring together experts to identify critical challenges in plastic composition analysis where reference materials, interlaboratory studies, or documentary standard developments would deliver significant value for U.S

New X-ray measurements will allow scientists to more accurately monitor nuclear material at power plants and weapons facilities.

Our everyday life is flooded with photons, the quantum building blocks of light. For cutting-edge technology, from quantum computing to deep-tissue imaging, detecting every single photon counts. “Photons carry information,” said Kristen Parzuchowski

Anyone wishing to attend the virtual meeting must register by 5 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, Sept. 16.

The achievement shows that fragile quantum entanglement can survive even in tough, real-world conditions.

NIST MEP will host an informational webinar on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, at 1 p.m. ET to provide general information about this opportunity and guidance on preparing applications.
